14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-ASO-1]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Palm Beach Gardens, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment establishes Class E airspace at Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida. A Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) for
Runway 8R at the proposed North County General Aviation Airport, which
is under construction has been developed, and controlled airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface of the earth, is
needed to contain instrument flight rules (IFR) operations when
utilizing this SIAP. The intended effect of this amendment is to
provide adequate Class E airspace for IFR operators executing the SIAP.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c. June 23, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On March 11, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E airspace at
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida (59 FR 11562). A Runway 8R SIAP to serve
the North County General Aviation Airport based on the Pahokee VORTAC
has been developed. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface, is needed to contain IFR operations when utilizing
this SIAP. Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to
the FAA. No comments relating to this Class E airspace proposal were
received. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Designations for Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth are published in
Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective
September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1
effective September 16, 1993. The Class E airspace designation listed
in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
establishes Class E airspace at Palm Beach Gardens, FL. This action
lowers the base of controlled airspace from 1200 feet above the surface
to 700 feet above the surface in the vicinity of the proposed North
County General Aviation Airport.
The intended effect of this action is to provide adequate Class E
airspace for IFR operators executing the VOR Runway 8R SIAP at the
North County General Aviation Airport. The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations
for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them
operationally current. It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since
this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
